Two speakers debate whether obesity is self-inflicted, citing statistics showing 40% of Americans are obese compared to 3-4% in Japan and 13% globally. They discuss personal responsibility versus government and public health efforts to encourage healthier habits.
I do believe that for the most part, majority of cases, if you are obese, it is self-inflicted. Imagine, dude, what is the obesity rate in America? Like 50%, something like that?
How are we not trying to help people? It's more so that I agree, people just need to be more fit or try to be more fit, and we need to encourage Americans to exercise.
I mean, I'm just gonna say this. I mean, there's a tweet recently about what's something that's controversial you believe that people would have all these knives pointing at you, right? And I basically responded to it and I said, this is just my belief, guys. This has to do with Neil. I do believe that for the most part, majority of cases, if you are obese, it is self-inflicted. Um, and I do think like the, the fact that the White House, the administration is trying to push this forward, it's going to help people, right? I do think it's going to help them cultivate the right habits to eat right, to, to move and things like that. Um, and I think this can be fixed, right? So in Japan, what do you think the obesity rate is? 3, 4%? 4.4% for men, 2.3% for women. Now what do you think the global average obesity rate is? 15, 20%? 13%. Now in the United States, the obesity rate is around 40% and it's going up. 40%?
40%, yeah.
So don't tell me this is not self-inflicted.
